Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Remove leaves and core from 1 medium cauliflower and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains, about 4 cups. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 medium diced carrot and 1 medium diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Push vegetables to the side of the skillet and crack 3 large eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs gently until cooked through, about 2 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet along with 3 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry everything together for 5-6 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
  6. Step 6: Stir in 3 sliced green onions just before removing from heat. Serve hot.
